Permadeath Camping! Love It

I have been through a lot, from the days of walls with spikes, and the zombies just kept climbing over the dead, to an invasion of trader enclaves, and recently I ran low on water. Poor old me. Today I am renovating an old diner (if I survive).

In all these years, I never figured out how to build a bicycle or even a decent gun. In the old mole people days, I was persecuted by the digging zombies, and now I'm living on a roof (again). There are a lot of settings in videogames. Permadeath is the best. I usually start over, from the beginning. I want to play Permadeath PvP, any servers?

I am continually impressed by the immense potential of the game's underlying engine. The new water update seems great (haha), I have observed minor glitches, but much better than before. However, what I desire most is a creative challenge. The zombies on Warrior mode are a threat, from Day 1. Years ago, I remember being killed on night 1, as I huddled in a little cave. Life has not improved much!

My Settings: I don't do traders, airdrops, loot bonus, or loot renewal. If I die, I lose everything. My goal is to find the nearest body of water and fortify it. I've done it many times, and I died my friends. Sadness. These nightmare devil dogs are the usual culprit. The mean zombie dogs were bad enough, but the dark black ones always get me. I've decided to accept that they are my enemy.

The dogs run. The feral zombies run. Always Run seems oppressive, and Never Run is a little slow. I don't like running at night, because its already dark, I don't want to spend an hour watching that creepy thing that jumps. I pretty much stick to slow zombies, or else I wind up all night on sentry duty. The occasional feral zombies are quite a sufficient menace, so I allow them to run. I NEED A GUN. Haha, and then dogs kill me.

Buildings are death traps, lots of things can go wrong, like you could fall into a basement... So the key to permadeath day 1 survival is just food, water, shelter. I had a beautiful place, just scenic... and I'm impressed with the continually evolving capability of the terrain generator.

Day 1 is simple enough. Kill rabbits, chickens. Trees. Rocks. Zombies.

Before digging, I had furnaces but these days I'm drawn to the surface. It's not safe up here! Gone are the days of mud mountain, where I could fill 176 bottles of water and descend once more into the glorious depths of the catacombs. Water. Water. Water.

Oh, the developers hate me with their dysentery and charred meat. I have conquered an entire diner, and not a single cooking pot. This is a hard life, but an honest one,

I find this quite challenging.

I don't like hordes that come through concrete walls like it's styrofoam, so the block damage changes are great. I can definitely get on top of something, like a rock or a car. I've bled to death on top of more than one!

I will send you pictures if I survive long enough to renovate this old diner.

I wish myself luck on this great endeavor.

Hey boys. I know you are all excited to hear about Day 2. Now that I've found an invisible football helmet, I am ready for fun!

Now, as I said, my current goal is to occupy this diner.

Behold, my only survival skill, a rudimentary drawbridge.

Of course, when you play with these settings, occupying a base doesn't do much good. There's no water up here! Fortunately, I am inspired by the local drainage ditch, which you can see above (and below). Mmmm, precious fluids...

I went through a brief fantasy of trying to do something here, but since loot isn't going to respawn, I won't be able to stay here very long anyways. Hahaha, I think the nomadic lifestyle is pretty inevitable (not that I'll live long enough).

If this is what I'm encountering in the middle of the street, in broad daylight, I'm gonna need a lot more arrows!

This knife is the best thing I've found, better than a pistol! Double the meat from hunted animals, and does as much damage as a club (with like half the stamina). Very nice! Anyways, that's about it I sure hope I find some freshwater soon!
